Report! @ 10:44 am

It's really sad to hear the gas prices right there up with the prices of oil and the stock market. Today the price has inched to 3.95m and whether you drive or not, the prices do effect.

So I've got an effective or "report" date for Richmond. They usually want you to be there 30 days after they officially give an offer, but since my Mom's going to Australia and will be back on the 2nd of July, and since I need help moving, we got it moved to July 21. I'm kind of excited. We're still working on salary details, mostly because my masters hasn't posted officially yet, and because since it's not official, an official transcript won't work to prove my masters, How's that for bureaucracy and redundant systems. Holly and I are planning on visiting Richmond in the middle of June to scope things out, and hopefully find a place to live for a while. Lots of decisions, lots of things to do, and lots of stress. But I think I can handle it.

Velvet's now completely off leash in the house now. The cat and Velvet sniffed each other a bit yesterday, and I think they're getting to know each other. Gabby is still very wary, and Velvet has to hold her water, fire, and brimstone to leave the poor kitty alone, but I think wee're progressing.

I'm not planning much today but watching some of the Deadliest Catch episodes I had the Tivo record while I was away at The Seeing Eye. I've also got some form of marginally nasty crud which I'm trying to shake. If I can get all the negotiation and craziness done with DLA, I get to process myself into federal government service. Signatures and letting of blood for signature and soul transfer most likely happens when I report to Richmond. It's a nice day outside, so I might hang out on the porch for a while too. Just trying to enjoy my peace and quiet before my job.
